More quotes by Ezra Taft Benson

Ezra Taft Benson
I speak of honor-your honor to God-your honor to country-your honor to self. I sincerely believe it to be the cure to most of our ills, both on a national or individual basis.

Mothers, take time to be a real friend to your children. Listen to your children, really listen. Talk with them, laugh and joke with them, sing with them, cry with them, hug them, honestly praise them. Yes, regularly spend unused one-on-one time with each child. Be a real friend to your children.
Ezra Taft Benson
Essentially, pride is a 'my will' rather than 'thy will' approach to life.
